With 19 models available, from a delicate 2-weight to our popular 10-weight, the Professional II series travel rods offer anglers of all skill levels the perfect match at an outstanding value.
The Drift Rod is designed to be light in overall weight, fast damping and well balanced as we used a mixture of our highest modulus carbon fiber along with a down-locking reel seat and removable weighted fighting butt.
The LK Legacy series pays homage to TFO’s founding rod designer Lefty Kreh by incorporating all his wisdom in the creation of the ultimate “big water” trout rod for intermediate to advanced anglers.
For decades, Flip Pallot has shared his knowledge and enthusiasm with countless anglers in the pursuit of some of the most challenging fish on the planet.
Now, once more, he is sharing his experience through the Mangrove Coast rod series.
Engineered to fit the angler (not the other way around), the Axiom II fly rod offers the optimization of the three-dimensional approach to casting a fly, hooking a fish and landing it.

The FreeHander lives up to its name, offering one-hand engagement when cutting and securing line. The wide paddle design gives intuitive purchase in cold or wet conditions, and moveable parts provide a custom fit. Optimized for use with Mono & Fluorocarbon line.
The Defender Tether offers a carabiner designed to fit on-finger for intuitive control and a patented line vise on each side for secure tension relief. Line is protected by an override lock-out system, and the tool is easily carried on straps, belts, or waders w/ a wide-body flexible clip.

RIO’S BIG NASTY LEADERS are designed to cast large, heavy or air resistant flies. The leaders are made of a medium stiff nylon and have a powerful taper design that easily turn over streamers, big terrestrials (like hoppers and stoneflies), and cope with tough winds. The copolymer material is incredibly tough and highly abrasion resistant.
The InTouch Trout LT (Light Touch) line is available in both double taper, and weight forward profiles, and features a long, fine front taper for the lightest of presentations and perfect roll casts.
RIO's Freshwater VersiLeaders are designed for the fly fisher who needs a quick-change option for converting a floating line to a sink tip. Each VersiLeader is 10ft long, tapered for the best in performance and has a 24lb nylon core. A neat, bullet-proof welded loop at the butt end allows for fast rigging.
RIO’S KAHUNA LT is an ingenious and subtle strike indicator made of a piece of high floating fly line with the core removed from the middle, leaving an empty tunnel. Simply break off the required length of indicator and thread the leader though the tunnel.
Powerflex Plus Trout Leaders are the strongest trout leaders ever made, with tensile strengths up to 20% more than regular leaders. A technical modification of the nylon copolymer formulation has resulted in prodigious strength increase, without compromising the knot strength or suppleness. Simply put, these are the strongest, most reliable trout leaders ever made.
With a RIO Cranky kit, anglers can change lines quickly and efficiently as fishing conditions change. Simply wind the line off the reel through the rod on to the fly line spool that is provided, unloop the line from the backing, then loop the new line to the backing and wind the new line on to the reel. With this technique anglers will not need to restring the rod.
Our ZERO reel sets a new standard for lightweight performance and affordability as the lightest reel in its class. We utilized die-cast construction to create an incredibly lightweight design not achievable with CNC machining processes. An all-new, durable clicker drag system compliments the design to make for the ultimate in lightweight trout reels.
